Natalia de Campos / Thiago Szmrecsányi with Tracy Collins & Renata Ferreira

COLLECTIVE BARGAIN, originally a mobile installation-performance-intervention created by ART&COM (Natalia de Campos & Thiago Szmrecsányi),Tracy Collins and Toya Mileno, it displays information, media and ephemera related to collectivity, gathering, healing, and the power of union today. During AiOP 2017, it moved along 14th Street in Manhattan to places of historical significance for collective action in a 3-day schedule of activities. It also founded UAAU, the United Artists & Activists Union.
